That always makes me think that a woman is more jealous than disgusted. She is small and beautiful.

Nicole may be a beautiful woman, but not when she looks like that. She’s starving herself out of her bone structure! When a woman’s biceps get that much smaller than her elbow joint, you know that there are some unhealthy eating behaviors going on. That sort of thing doesn’t happen with naturally thin women (think Gwyneth Paltrow, Uma Thurman, Paris Hilton). But when women who are meant to have some curves (ie Nicole, Lindsay) starve themselves, you get the creepy enormous looking elbows. And deefunk, since you decided to make this about me, I’ve had friends hospitalized from anorexia, and lemme tell you: that ain’t NOTHING to be jealous of. Like many people who work on computers all day, I could stand to lose a few pounds … but I’d rather be the soft, strong, healthy person that I am than be so skinny that my hair falls out and my kidneys start to fail.

Actually, I didn’t mean you, just women in general.
But I think you are right, she does look a bit off, but is more the head being too large for her body. Maybe it’s sick, but I like the way her arms look.
Supposedly Nicole has looked like this her whole life, and only plumped up when she went through rehab. Everyone was so used to seeing her chunky that her weight looks so shocking now.

yeah there is def something going on with these two… either drugs or anorexia. it is sad they are both beautiful women… but not like that.. anyone that would think that they look fine might have some problems themselves.

Looking forward to watching Lohan host SNL. Want to see how badly she’s shrunk.

supposedly, she’s lost so much weight due to the regime that her new personal trainer has her under.
personally, i thought that trainers were supposed to make you look fit and healthy, and not like you were recently released from Belsen.
they both look horrendous.

Heya, I think they both look pretty bad and thats how I used to look.I am anorexic, just recovering and am finding it very difficult to look at these celebs being thinner than me and being anorexic. It is hard to get better when the whole world around you is getting thinner. It makes you wanna give up and give up eating all over again!

The whole obsession with getting thinner is very unattractive. If you look at celebrities of the old days, Marilyn Monroe for example, we can see that having a gorgeous figure and being attractive and desirable is about a normal healthy diet and an active lifestyle, not obsessing over weight and wanting to look like a preteen barbie. Most women don’t have great figures anyhow, but what is most appealing and attractive is a quiet and mild spirit, and respectful attitude toward her own body and toward others. Elegance of manner and style=Simple, natural=Beauty, attractiveness.

No one nows wat it like to life a big lie. You make up things so u don’t have to go out to dinner with ur friends. You know ur friends know… and you just grow apart and u get into a group of people who u know that wont notice… cuz they aren’t really ur friends u give up on every thing just to be THIN.

Hello people? How can we be saying that Nicole looks disgusting? Since when were rolls hot on the runway or anywhere else for that matter? I’ve seen before and after pics of this girl, and she looks so much better now. Of course she is anorexic you idiots! And why shouldn’t she be? It’s none of anyone’s business. Oh, and by the way, girls around the world aren’t going to start to starve themselves just because that’s what Nicole is doing. Anorexia is a mental illness. You can’t learn it or want it, no matter how hard you try.
